Ask HN: What to include in presentation about STEM to high school students?
7 by roland35 | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I recently volunteered for an opportunity to speak to local high school students about engineering and our company at a STEM-related class. I was wondering if anyone had some examples of good presentations or some ideas of interesting things to highlight about engineering in general? I'd like to make the presentation engaging and fun and hopefully encourage some students to pursue an engineering education! I had a few ideas of things to include: - Engineering is a flexible and well paying career with good work life balance - You get to work on new things every day - It is fulfilling to see your work in products that people use in the real world (sometimes, if the project isn't cancelled ha) - Many skills are useful outside of work, knowing how things work in general
